Refrigerator section

Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is in use. These are
automatically removed and defrosted
by the appliance.

The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.

Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without
hindrance.

Freezer section

This freezer is equipped with a "Frost
free" system. The freezer section
defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated in the
appliance collects on the condenser
and is automatically defrosted and
dissipated from time to time.

This automatic defrosting system
enables the freezer section to remain
permanently ice-free, however, the food
stored in the freezer section will not
defrost.
